Chitosan is a new dietary fiber derived from chitin, a polysaccharide
derived from the shells of crustaceans. Chitosan does not contain any
appreciable amounts of toxic minerals such as mercury, which have previously
been associated with the meaty portions of certain shellfish.

Like other fibers, Chitosan is indigestible, and can reduce "transit
time", which is the time it takes for foods to pass through the digestive
system and out of the body.* Therefore, less fats in general, including
cholesterol, sterols, fatty acids, and essential fatty acids are available to
be absorbed. Dietary fiber is usually deficient in modern diets where foods are
more highly processed. Fiber tends to increase stool bulk, hydration and acts
as a catalyst for colonic microflora, all of which speed transit time, and
produce a softer stool.

Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, 2 capsules with 8 ounces
of water thirty to forty minutes prior to one or two meals per day, or as
directed by a healthcare practitioner.

WARNING: A high quality essential fatty acid supplement such as
flax seed oil, along with ample supplemental fat soluble nutrients vitamins A,
D, E, and K should be taken at a meal apart from Chitosan supplementation.
Drink at least 64 oz., or 8 full glasses of pure water a day. Avoid this
product if you are allergic to shellfish, pregnant or lactating. Not
recommended for children or teenagers.
